Aztec Fire: Hold and Win Review

Aztec Fire: Hold and Win takes players on an adventure to the jungles of Central America to hunt for hidden treasures of the lost civilization. According to the phrase 'Hold and Win' in the name, the slot revolves around the popular streak-style respins that 3 Oaks has used in quite a few of its games, including the players' favorite Lotus Charm. Despite a somewhat common approach though, the game has several tricks of its own aka special features that kick in during the bonuses, providing tons of fun and wondrous prizes up to 10,000x the bet.

Loading the game takes you to the dense Mesoamerican jungle with lush greenery and blue serene rivers. In the middle is sitting a large 5x4 grid producing 20 winlines consisting of animals and ancient Aztecs. The game looks absolutely stunning on the surface, with sharp and detailed symbols and top-notch quality graphics. The design team did a great job of producing the visuals of the game, and Aztec Fire: Hold and Win is by far one of the most beautifully looking in the Aztec niche. The soundtrack is also on spot, as it adds a final touch to the atmosphere and immerses you deeply into the action.

Back to the pay symbols, we get 8 regulars that are split into two categories, namely lows and highs. The lower section consists of classic A-J royals, and the latter lot includes in ascending order frogs, toucans, cougars, and an Aztec shaman.

Playable on any device, the Aztec Fire: Hold and Win slot comes with a betting range of €0.2 to €30 per spin, so there aren't too many options for high-rollers. The volatility is in the medium range, rated by the developer 3 out of 5, so returns should occur fairly often. The RTP, however, is slightly below the average at 95.5%.

Aztec Fire: Hold and Win Slot Features

As alluded to earlier, the Hold and Win bonus is central to the gameplay, and it can be activated at any stage when 6 or more bonus symbols appear simultaneously on the reels. All bonus symbols have random bet multiplier values attached to them, which can be 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, or 12x the bet. Once a required combination appears, the triggering symbols stick to the reels and players proceed to a bonus game where only bonus symbols appear. The Hold and Win feature plays out on the standard grid initially, though, the reels expand when a certain amount of bonus symbols is collected, up to 5x8:

• 5th row - 10 bonus symbols
• 6th row - 15 bonus symbols
• 7th row - 20 bonus symbols
• 8th row - 25 bonus symbols

Players receive 3 Respins to start with, and each new bonus symbol appearing in view resets the respins counter back to 3. In addition to bonus symbols, special jackpot symbols can appear on the reels to award a corresponding jackpot prize, namely Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, worth 20x, 50x, 100x, and 1,000x the bet respectively.

The bonus continues until the player runs out of respins or the entire grid becomes filled with bonus symbols. With that said, collecting 40 bonus symbols awards a Royal Jackpot prize worth 10,000x your current stake.

Next is the Free Spins feature, triggered when 3 Scatter symbols appear in view during the base game. That awards 8 free games and an instant cash prize of 2x your bet. The bonus plays out in a similar way to the base game, but a major difference is that only high symbols are present on the reels during the feature.
